Could you give some specific examples of those new languages with their own backends for faster builds?

I was immediately thinking of Jai, Zig, .. but I've seen a few

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think both Zig and Jai use LLVM as their default backend...at least, that's what I have seen via live streaming for Jai, and from Zig's repo.

Zig is moving away from LLVM (https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/16270) and Rust has added Cranelift as a debug backend (https://lwn.net/Articles/964735/).

Not sure about Jai.
